And another one. Apparently this is the latest build.

Why do people keep saying consoles look great?
There's no filtering or anything on them.
And the whole 30 FPS thing doesn't make that any better.

Also,

It's a FPS - why the fuck would you play it on a console anyway?

>play inferior console version on the console with the most inferior hardware this gen besides the wii
>complain when the graphics are subpar

Faggot. Console player here, by the way. At I know what to expect, unlike your queer ass.

>>109981385
Quite a few console games look great when coupled with great animation and art direction. Killzone 3, for example, was a great experience because everything matched up great. The gamplay/graphics/etc were all in tune. Nothing really stood out for being sub-par.

These screenshots, however, just focus on the blandness.

>>109981451
OP here, I'm planning on purchasing it on PS3 myself because my wife and I share the computer, but still... a lot of this stuff really stands out for being terrible

Of course I don't expect it to be the same quality as PC graphics wise.

Why should we care what you think of a gimped version of a video game meant to be played on PC?

Call of Duty wins yet again.

>>109981711
which also would have been just that bit better if it was solely designed for PC, might I add

Wow, I really hope you shopped it.
If they actually desaturated the game this much they should have just made it in black and white.

>>109981711
Because I enjoy playing video games.

Distracting things like really really bad AA makes it more difficult.

What the fuck did you expect from a 6-year-old console running a cutting-edge game?

since i am not a total faggot, i will still buy this game for my xbox

and i will enjoy it just as much as pc users

if you simply cant play a game because of the jaggies, you need to rethink your life

>>109981979
Well then get a good PC, and you can have all the AA you want.

What your seeing is the sacrifices necessary to make a modern game run on 6 year old hardware.

>fps on consoles

First of all, who the fuck buys this for a console.

It's BATTLEFIELD 3.

You understand that they are releasing it for consoles in order to troll console owners?

PC Gaming is head and shoulders above console gaming, as it has been since the beginning and always shall be.

Consoles are for poorfags and hiveminders who don't realize you can fucking plug a USB controller into your PC and jerk off with your thumbsticks all you want, or who sell out for specific games that -ought to be- released for PC anyway, where they'll receive community support, shitloads of mods, and, oh yeah, WAY better graphics.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better graphics.

Well, looks exactly like Bad Company 2. And here I was, thinking that there would be some kind of graphical improvement. Looks like I'll be getting Modern Warfare 3 this year, if I bother getting either of them at all.

Console fag here, obviously.

>>109984790
As >>109983833 stated, these are clearly 720p images upscaled to 1080p, which is why they look so bad and pixelated. There would be a significant jump in percieved quality if we were viewing the image at the native render resolution.

The 360 was actually ahead of the curve till around november 2006 when the Nvidia 8xxx series of graphics cards launched launched, before then the 360 was the only piece of gaming hardware in the world with unified shader architecture, which has pretty much become the standard for all graphics cards since.

It has a number of other neat innovations as well which have yet to see widespread adoption.

I'm not saying that I expected some huge graphical leap or something, but this looks like an exact clone of BC2. Hell, look at the difference between Skyrim and Oblivion. Admittedly, BC2 is probably one of the best looking console games, and there isn't much room for improvement, but still.

>>109986706
what resolution?

>>109986528

This is true, but you have to consider the computing costs of just running an OS and applications, on top of what the game will need.

Consoles, when a game is launched it isn't running anything but the game and a "light" version of the firmware in the background (on PS3 you can really tell, the menu is choppy when you bring up the XMB in game). So to get the graphics we're getting out of consoles with 6 year old hardware is pretty good in my opinion.

PC gamer here. I think it looks ok for 2005 hardware, OP. I don't see the problem. I think you should be thankful you will get to play it at all, since you can only afford hardware from almost 7 years ago. I also think it looks real nice, taking everything into consideration.

You look down your sights. You wait until you see movement, and when you do, you pull the trigger. It's as straight forward it can get. It doesn't have to look pretty while you're doing this. Not that it would anyway.

>1920x1080

>>109986528
>I believe that this gen of consoles hardware is obsolete and is far behind the average PC's hardware.

That depends how you define obsolete, in terms of raw processing power they are certainly well below the standard, but processing power isn't the only measure of how relevant computer hardware is, there are many more ways to innovate.

>>109986125
holy shit so thats all post Earthquake.

Really cool

>>109986787
actually has more to do with hardware software API rather than the os and other apps because they really don't take up as much resources you as you think unless you have tons of bloat ware installed, john Carmack talked a lot about it recently.

>>109986992
alright thanks, i'll try and see if that makes anything better

>>109986706
Because some of those resources are going towards the OS, consoles now-a-days also have a minor OS to run as well, but nothing like a PC.

Also PC optimization is a rarity now-a-days even for exclusives, mainly because of all the different cards.

Also your PC might not be as good as you think, Xbox and PS3 are running on "Cutting edge" technology from 2002, since mass producing something on good technology isn't cheap to do, even so, they havn't upgraded to a new console by now is retarded, since someone can run crysis at medium settings with a PC that costs less then a PS3 if they know what they're doing.

LOL, the amount of PC master race trolling on poor console kiddies is ORGASMIC

Don't forget to turn off AA, AF, Vsync, pretty much all postprocessing except HDR, and set all the texture and effect qualities to medium/low.

>>109986706

>my pc has notably better hardware than my ps3 or xbox
>cannot play bad company 2 at a decent framerate or crysis at anything above medium
>wat

I think the main reason why is because it's what's called a console port, and a mediocre one at that. essentially it was designed for consoles and then shoddily ported over to the PC instead of the other way around.

So...is this evidence of console versions being ports of PC versions?

>>109987182

The majority of /v/ PC MASTER RACE XD faggots don't care about facts.

>>109987182
You should read the thread better, a lot of people have already mentioned that.

By the way, a borin' old PC shot for comparison.

>>109987182
It isn't 1080p, it's blatantly obvious that the image is a 720p render that has been upscaled.

this, AA is a framerate killer

>>109987182
It's a screencap of a video that's captured at 1080p.

Consoles render internally at 720p or lower then upscale, the video comes out as 1080p

>>109987266
Are you playing at console resolutions and console settings? Trust me, they're a LOT lower than 'medium'.

>>109987054
>That depends how you define obsolete, in terms of raw processing power they are certainly well below the standard, but processing power isn't the only measure of how relevant computer hardware is, there are many more ways to innovate.
Yea, like newer software versions like DX10/11 and OpenGL4, or newer technologies like FSAA or tessellation, none of which the 360 or PS3 have.
So you're right, they aren't just behind in raw power, they are behind in other ways too!

Yes. Thus proving his point. You're taking something that's roughly half the size of a 1080p image and upscaling it. Of course it's going to look like a pile of ass.

>>109987346
That depends on the type of AA, we have AA solutions now that are implemented as a post processing filter which have almost no framerate impact at all.

I'm already getting it for the PC. BF3 and Deus Ex HR are the reasons I built it and I know that it's foolish to think the console version of BF3 would look anywhere close to the PC at maximum settings...but that looks really terrible...

>but it is poorly optimized horseshit

ArmA2 is incredibly well optimised, it runs poorly because of its scope and the sheer volume of information that needs to be processed, your bullets don't just magically vanish in ArmA after they pass a certain distance threshold, they keep going until they hit something, if you're firing at a target that us uphil of you there could potentially be ballistics information for tens of thousands of bullets still being processed afterwards while you're waiting for gravity to bring them down into the ocean.

You'll notice a significant leap in performance moving from singleplayer to multiplayer because this processing is offloaded onto the server and distributed to the clients only when something important happens.

TLDR, ArmA runs bad because it really simulates instead of taking shortcuts, that's why military organisations all around the world use it for training.

You pcfags should make me a PC to play BF3.

ahahaha it totally gave you a key, if by KEY YOU MEAN SURVEY. LOL.

ITT: People who still compare console hardware to PC hardware even though a console doesn't have a PC operating system running in the background.

>>109989146
Hes a little fucking kid.

>>109988916
So people who enjoy video games on a different machine to you are more retarded than those crazy fuckers who think blowing up a bus of women and children is a fine and dandy way into the afterlife?

Get your fucking priorities straight, you arse-pained PC fucker.

>>109989151

>for key

Also, nice try marketers. Entered 01/01/0001 as my birth date, won't be able to use me in your study's!

>>109989237
Consoles are oversimplified rudimentary PCs with outdated hardware.

>>109989224
nope it seriously gave me a key after i clicked the survey button, i didn't have to do anything but put my birthdate in

you're just mad because i'm not some faggot nerd who thinks consoles are terrible, even though my pc shits all over yours. consoles are good at what they are. pc's are more versatile. you're an idiot, and people who bitch about this subject are idiots. they act like pc's are ONLY FOR GAMING.

newsflash: you're bad at video games and will never be good at them. go back to your single player games.

>>109989321
wow, you're serious? i don't know weather to laugh or rage.

console hardware is nothing like pc hardware.

sure is projecting in here

post your specs

>>109989125
They're only lacking in raw processing power, they feature a lot of other neat innovations in terms of system design and architecture which are only just begining to see adoption in the mainstream PC market.

But I wouldn't expect anyone that posts here to actually know anything about technology and instead automatically assume that gigahertz and the amount of memory are the only significant factors in judging a system's relevance

Why do people say this game looks good?
I just see CoD: grey filter edition.

so we have the choice between:

>awful looking console version
and
>installing EAs spyware aka origin

oh boy

Dice went full retard on this game

so i should be worried that Gaben knows my fetish?

>>109989642
>implying steam doesn't do the same thing.

I'm getting seriously fucking sick of you faggots using that argument. Steam's TOS says most of the EXACT SAME SHIT, it's just worded a little less obviously. You are seriously retarded if you don't think that steam also harvests your information. Guess what. THEY DO.

No idea what side bar you're talking about. Course, I have the 4chan plus plugin for chrome so I just watched the video in the thread.

>>109989807

>comparing a hardware scan to reading your browser history and monitoring your installed programs

oh you silly EA fanboys

>>109989820
Sure, that's all they're taking you. Definitely not monitoring what demo's you download, what games you buy, what games you pirate

>>109989803
Nope. Gaben builds his new game based off what he sees from it's users.

I'll give you browser history (even though steam sees what you do with IT's browser, but that doesn't count) but steam can take a look-see through your hard drive too buddy.

>>109989966
It's DICE who put multicam uniforms on Marines. Marines don't wear army uniforms, or multicam.

Is the ps3 version going to get some optimization? or will it be just like BC2?

>>109990015

steam is shit for many reasons like fucking overpriced games anywhere but the US

but Origin is spyware steam not , yet, deal wit it

>>109987664
MLAA and FXAA degrade the overall image quality by blurring it. Not like it matters much on consoles since they are already blurry as shit, but they are poor temporary solutions. We should have moved onto new consoles by now.

>EAs face when people willingly install their spyware

they are undoubtedly rendered at a lower resolution than the native. Meaning they may be high poly/demanding physics models and its easier to render them at a smaller resolution and upscale for the current res.

>>109990248
funny how its the other way around (game wise) 99% of the time

You just can't get graphics that good yet. One day in a thousand years we might get realism complete, but for now this is the best we can do OP.

Pic related, PC 2011.

>>109988590
I think ArmA 2 is quite well Optimised. I have a semi-budget rig i made last year. Processor is in no way a bottleneck anyways (usually only see 45-60% cpu usage even in towns during heavy combat). I don't exactly run it on the 'highest' settings (Most settings on 'normal', grass on 'low', post processing on low, no aa and low settings for anisotroperic filtering. Shadows on normal/hdr on normal) And i usually run the game at 1920x1080 or 1680x1050, and it looks great. Screenshot related, same settings as above, but with textures set to high. View distance is usually set to 2 to 2.5 k's for me. Can run it at full 10 k's with settings on High, but then framerate pretty much becomes a constant 24 fps. Might try overclocking GPU a fair bit, and see if i can push details and rendering distance a bit further. (Most I can play with and still get around 40 FPS is 3.5 to 4 k's view distance. Which is a fair lot anyways.
Specs are below:
i5 650 running at stock 3.2 GHz
4gb ddr3 in dual-channel
GTS 450 FPB (running at stock clocks)
1tb Spinpoint F3

Is it really all about graphics?
As long as i have fun with my friends playing Ps3, im fine with less graphics then Pc.

>Thread is no longer about BF3 on 360.


GTFO nerds.

>I think ArmA 2 is quite well Optimised.
Try playing ARMA2 and say that, OA is vastly superior to ARMA2 in it's optimization.

>on /v/

oh the irony!

Modern Warfare 3 is nothing special, Battlefield 3 will require Origins, looks like i'm not getting either. I already have steam, and the only reason that is, is because of Dawn of War 2 and Space Marine. Personally, I can't stand any client of that sorts and I never leave them running.

But now I got to have two stupid shit clients on my sacred PC because of Battlefield? Nope.

>>109990467
Headline reads:

BF3 POPULARITY EXPLOSION
MOST PIRATED GAME EVER

What the fuck? Those screens better not be representative of what I'm going to be playing. Believe me, I'd rather be playing it on PC, but I have larger priorities right now.

>>109990607
I can vouch for this.

OA plays really nicely on high settings with my gtx 460, and i5 quad core.

>>109990538
Better graphics substantially improve the gaming experience. The only people who say graphics don't mean anything are console peasants and PC gamers with shitty PC's.

>>109990617
It will be a truly glorious day if that happens.

>>109990607
Meant to say ArmA 2 OA.

>>109990702
Just because graphics don't mean EVERYTHING doesn't mean they don't mean anything.

Look at Rock of ages or some other example im too tired to think of right now.

>>109990753
Doesn't that mean absolutely nobody would be playing it online though?

The graphics are good enough to me.

But Battlefield 3 won't be a good game anyways.

>>109990753
Can't understand people who would pirate a battlefield game. Since you can't play multiplayer then.

>>109990824
I don't disagree but people saying they don't mean anything are more common than those claiming they don't mean everything. I am currently enjoying the living shit out of the first Deus Ex but I know for a fact that if it was remade on a modern engine it would be a substantially improved game.

>>109990953
I want heaps of people to pirate it as a way to say fuck you to EA.

>>109991048
Fair enough hotshot.

wasnt the pirated version of crysis 2 able to play multiplayer?

>>109991048
I'm torrenting Dead Space 2 now. Does that count?

>>109986352
>2011
>Consoles
So they finally got 60fps on sub 720p.

>>109991394
dead space 2 is actually very good. I've talked a little with two of the devs on it to. Nice guys. I would say dead space 2 is one of the games worth buying.

>>109986706
It cant be that great my 6870 maxes those games out no problem.

>mfw I'll be playing a purchased copy of BF3
>mfw origin will have no effect on my system other than taking up a very small portion of my HDD and RAM
>mfw retards don't know about sandboxie

>>109991476
I always pirate just to see if my hardwware can handle it and then decide on that. I'll keep that in mind though.

>>109983259
Graphics aren't that important, and I'm PC Master Race here. Half my library are old titles and indie games because I don't feel like I'm playing the same shit every game.

If graphics are your only reasoning consoles suck, you need to reevaluate why you play videogames.

>>109980987

Holy fuck.
Look at the draw distance on that.

>>109991608
What? Good? Bad? Compared to what?

Oh cool I will get this on steam!

>origin only

First day pirate

Nah fuck that.

>>109991891
>Implying you wouldn't rub one out on that shiny head of hers.

how can you pirate bf3 when the WHOLE GAME IS GOING TO RUN THROUGH ORIGIN

there dosent seem to be ANY way to pirate this game
